Maharishi's Vedic Approach to Health is the most ancient and scientific* system of natural medicine, using a variety of approaches that simultaneously influence mind, physiology, behaviour, and environment to maintain perfect health and promote longevity.
'Vedic Health enlivens the inner intelligence of the body and thereby maintains the vitality of the physiology, and also maintains a healthy relationship between the body and its counterparts in the physiology of the Cosmic Body—the sun, moon, planets, and stars—through Jyotish, Yoga, Sthapatya Veda, Dhanur-Veda, and all other aspects of the Vedic Literature.
'These values of health are not available in any of the prevailing systems of health care, due to which the present health care system is not only incomplete, but it has been found to be dangerous.
'Discovery of the Veda and Vedic Literature at the basis of human physiology offers a perfect system of health care on the basis of the complete knowledge of Natural Law available within the intelligence of the body of everyone. This Vedic System of Health Care supports health from the level of the infinite organizing power of Natural Law.'
—Maharishi
